Take a Virtual Boat Tour
Join the Progressive Diners on Wednesday, October 4, for a Waterkeepers Virtual Boat Tour. The tour is a creation of the Kootenai Environmental Alliance (KEA). The KEA offered these educational boat tours throughout the summer. These tours were free to the public. None the less, they offered an invaluable opportunity to learn about this program. By exposing the public to their work, the tours gave individuals a chance to learn about the history of Coeur d’Alene lake and the work of the KEA. The unique access also allowed participants to experience the different aspects of our lake. Most importantly, the tours showed individuals how to help with the Waterkeepers mission to ensure that it stays “swimmable, drinkable and fishable.” So now, we invite you to take the tour for yourself. RSVP by contacting Kristi or Jan.
About the KEA and Waterkeepers
The KEA is the oldest non-profit conservation group in Idaho. Idaho State Senators Art Manley and Mary Lou Reed, along with well-known environmental attorney Scott Reed founded KEA in 1972. The Lake Coeur d’Alene Waterkeepers is one of the many programs managed by the KEA. Its focus is “to protect against threats to the public’s water resources in the Coeur d’Alene Lake watershed”. They achieve this goal through “enforcement, community action, education, restoration and advocacy.”
